EU banking supremo Neelie Kroes might be an all-powerful figure as she carves up some of Britain&rsquo;s largest banks &ndash; but her successor will have a lot more clout. With Czech President V&aacute;clav Klaus adding his signature to the Lisbon Treaty yesterday, the EU is set to have even more powers over Europe&rsquo;s financial system. The Czech Republic was the last EU country that did not ratify the EU treaty but fell in line after Czech courts ordered it to.
